【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like 'he went pale and began to tremble' suggests either that the man was very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, 'he opened his eyes wide' is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese 'surprise' can be described in a phrase like 'they stretched out their tongues!' Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people's faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. When dogs, tigers and human show their teeth, how are they most likely feeling? 本题是细节题。题目问的是当狗、老虎和人露出牙齿的时候,最可能表达的是一种什么样的情绪。文中提到,在表达同一种情感时,不同动物间有着惊人的相似之处。然后举例说明,当狗、老虎和人露出牙齿的时候,都是生气的表现,故本题选B。

【答案解析】[听力原文] According to the speaker, which of the following is true? 本题问根据说话者的观点,哪一项是正确的。文章最后一段提到,即使在同一种文化背景下,人与人之间理解和表达情感的能力也是有差别的。其中,美国的多次实验表明,女性通常比男性更善于识别恐惧、生气、爱和幸福等面部表情,故A项正确。文中提到,另一些研究表明,老年人似乎比年轻人更容易识别和理解人的肢体语言,而不是面部表情,故C项错误。B、D两项的内容文中均未提及,故可排除。

【答案解析】[听力原文] What does the passage focus on? 本题是主旨题。文章开头提到,人们都通过语言和姿势表达情感,但问题在于,这些语言和姿势可以有不同的理解方式。之后比较了不同文化背景下,语言和姿势在表达各种情感方面的异同点。由此可知,本文主要讲的是语言、姿势及情感方面的内容,故本题选B。
